Several years ago I started putting sets of PCGS Graded Barber Half's together in every grade from F-12 to XF-45.
I finally got a coin back in a 40 holder that was cracked out several years ago by Cary. It took 5 tries if I am not mistaken(lost count) as evidently PCGS did not like the crusty original look it had which I love! It kept coming back VF-35. I actually figured knowing my luck when they did XF it would come back 45! As they say persistence pays off albeit I am buried in the coin due to the grading expenses.
Logpotato posted a picture of it for me somewhere in the annals of the Barber Megathreads but I just haven't the time or the knowledge of how to effectively use the search successfully here!

I only lack 2 XF45's and my project will be complete other than I am constantly looking and adding improvers!

<< <i>I'm shocked that coin ever came back as a 35- it's a 40 all day long. Congrats on knocking out another set; Will you do a display at a FUN show sometime? It would be really cool to see them all at the same time. It could be overwhelming!
Thanks! I also agree and that was why I was persistent. Hard not to take that coin up to the man and ask what is up with this since it was in a 40 holder before!
I would display them at FUN if you would sponsor a Brinks trip from my bank to the show and back!
Congratulations on the sets.
Let us know when you complete the deal.

It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
